City of Saint John – Results of Last Night’s South Central Peninsula Parking Ban

19-Jan-2018

Last night was the first overnight parking ban declared in the South Central Peninsula this year. While we did see some compliance, there were still a significant amount of people who did not move their vehicles off the street. As a result, 111 tickets were issued. No cars were towed; however, to ensure safe and efficient snow clearing operations, parking ban enforcement will continue as the winter progresses and more bans are called. Those who remain parked on the street during an overnight parking ban will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.

In the event of a parking ban, it is the responsibility of citizens to secure off-street parking and to seek information when the bans are declared.

To prepare, we encourage residents to make alternate off-street parking arrangements in advance of any snowfall. For those living in the South Central Peninsula, a number of lots will be available, free of charge through the Saint John Parking Commission, to allow for off-street overnight parking access.
